SMARTPoz™
8400S-H
The Forbes Marshall SMARTPoz™
8400S-H smart positioner brings
advanced sensor technology with
numerous salient features. A simple
to use, operator friendly device which
is easy to adapt to control valve
applications. Numerous functions can
be easily achieved by simple
configuration. The design lends itself
for use in all process plants such as
power, pharma, chemical, paper, etc.
It is built in an elegant aluminium
pressure die cast case with
environmental protection and yet
easy to maintain.
The Forbes Marshall SMARTPoz™ 8400S-H is a smart two-wire device that
uses a 4-20mA signal input as its set point. It compares the setpoint with the
actual position of the actuator stem and eliminates the positioning error using
an internal PID control action.
This microprocessor based smart positioner provides fast, sensitive and
accurate positioning for single acting linear pneumatic actuators. The device is
HART compliant with a 4-20mA output signal as position feedback. It comes in
variants designed for use in both safe and hazardous environments.
SMARTPoz™ 8400S-H uses a unique contactless magnetic position sensing
technique in combination with a pair of Hall sensors. This mechanism is free
from backlash and friction and helps achieve accurate position quickly.
The heart of the smart positioner is a small piezo based transducer, which is a
low power and low air consumption device. The electrical signal from the micro-
controller is converted to precise equivalent pneumatic signals through the
transducer, which operates the pilot valve, which in turn supplies proportional
air to the valve actuator.
Features
